Carlo Ancelotti 'reaches agreement to take charge of Napoli'

Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly reached an agreement with Napoli to replace Maurizio Sarri as their head coach.

According to Sky Sports News, the former Chelsea boss has confirmed that he will take charge of the Serie A club but is yet to sign a contract.

Ancelotti, who was sacked as Bayern Munich manager last September, is expected to sign a two-year deal with Napoli, worth €6m (£5.27m) a season.

Sarri, meanwhile, is reportedly the frontrunner to replace Antonio Conte at Chelsea, should the Italian leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

Ancelotti was also linked with the Italy national team job and Arsenal before they hired Roberto Mancini and Unai Emery respectively.
